Downtown Memphis is coming alive with new growth, and at the heart of Downtown is the Memphis Cook Convention Center. The 300,000 square foot multi-use convention center is designed especially for conventions, trade shows, and the performing arts. Located adjacent to The Pyramid, smack dab on the Downtown Trolley Line and within walking distance of numerous hotels, attractions and world-famous Beale Street, the Memphis Cook Convention Center can meet all your needs.

Located 20 minutes from the Memphis International Airport, the convention center offers 31 meeting rooms, an Executive Conference Center, a 125,000 square foot, column-free exhibit hall, the 35,000 square foot South Hall, a 28,000 square foot, hotel-quality ballroom and the 2,100-seat Cannon Center for the Performing Arts.

Our food service is unrivaled. Professional, full-service banquet catering, as well as concession services, is provided by the Memphis Marriott Downtown Hotel, which is connected to the Memphis Cook Convention Center. Parking can be easily found in one of our 1,000 indoor spaces or 200 outdoor spaces.
